  • Ability to perform power system and electrical loading analysis, simulation, and testing to determine optimal solutions
  • High competence using lab test equipment (benchtop power supplies, electronics loads, oscilloscopes, DMM, logic/spectrum analyzers, etc.) with familiarity of thermal and EMI test chambers and using basic software debugging tools
  • Familiarity with battery and UPS systems of various chemistries along with high voltage and low voltage safety and design considerations
  • Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, RS232/422, RS485, USB)
  • Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral)
  • Must be eligible to obtain a security clearance.
Responsibilities
  • Full cycle PCB design including collecting requirements, schematic design, component selection, supervision or completion of layout, bring-up, test, debug, and system integration.
  • Perform power design, including development and integration of power management systems and components.
  • Conduct bring-up and design work on microcontrollers, ensuring seamless integration within the system.
  • Troubleshoot issues that span electrical and software boundaries, utilizing both lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, DMM, etc.) and basic software debugging tools.
  • Develop payloads and subsystems (sensors, payload interfaces, power management, and networking)
  • Create system interconnect diagrams and define wire harnesses that connect electronic equipment within a subsystem.
  • Collaborate closely with other electrical, mechanical, software, firmware, and test engineers to deliver fully functional, mission-critical products.
  • Develop low-level firmware for bring-up and test.
  • Conduct peer-level and cross-discipline design reviews
  • Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, deployments, and customer operated hardware

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Anduril's recent $1.4 billion funding round at a $14 billion valuation underscores strong investor confidence and provides substantial capital for R&D and expansion.
  • The company's expansion plans, including new manufacturing facilities in Mississippi and Rhode Island, signal significant job creation and growth opportunities.
  • Selection by the U.S. Air Force for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program highlights Anduril's strategic importance and potential for long-term government contracts.

What critics are saying

  • The defense sector's reliance on government contracts can lead to revenue volatility due to changing political and budgetary priorities.
  • Rapid expansion and scaling, such as the planned new facilities, may strain operational capabilities and lead to potential execution risks.

What makes Anduril unique

  • Anduril's Lattice platform uniquely integrates air, land, and sea autonomous systems, providing a seamless and comprehensive ISR solution unlike any other in the defense market.
  • The company's focus on advanced autonomous systems and AI-driven solutions sets it apart from traditional defense contractors who rely on conventional technologies.
  • Strategic partnerships, such as with Rheinmetall for anti-drone systems, enhance Anduril's capabilities and market reach, distinguishing it from competitors.
